Mark, I've not used one, but if you're going to spend that why not put $80.00 more in, going by the MSRP and get the HL 90 K?

I don't know what your sales tax is, but here it's $85.60 difference between the HL 45 & the HL 90. Another thing is the 90's cutting action will be blade against blade, similar to scissors. The 45 will be blade against anvil, it'll cut, but you wont be able to cut through what you will with the 90.

Excellent advice. I didn't know about the cutting action. I'll see if I can go back in there and check that one out. The dealer was swaying me to the lesser expensive HL 45 because he says it's much more light weight (maybe their profit margin is higher on that particular model???). I'd trust the opinions here more than a dealer...although I know there are many here who are loyal to a particular brand.
